Despite Nigeria’s abundant sunshine, i find it interesting that up to a third or more of the population suffers from low vitamin D levels.
This is primarily caused by darker skin pigmentation, which reduces UV absorption, paired with indoor urban lifestyles, cultural sun-avoidance, and diets lacking fortified foods.
I’d be interested in knowing to what extent low vitamin D levels causes hormonal imbalance in Nigerian women.

Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@Omatune I don't agree with this. While all of them have failed us, the buck always stops at the table of the person in charge. You don't know what goes on internally.
Right from Uduaghan days, Vanguard has been the official mouthpiece of every Delta ruling party and this is one of such.
The DSP said he supports the policies of subsidy removal and floating of the Naira by Tinubu, which he still supports but believes that Peter Obi who also supports same can be trusted to give the benefits of such policies than Tinubu who can’t be trusted.
But as usual, Vanguard as APC mouthpiece in Delta want to drive and agenda.
Nigeria and Delta dey OK
I can never attribute the success of the NGX solely to Tinubu.
The growth we’re seeing in the stock market is largely driven by ordinary Nigerians who continue to patronize listed companies despite the economic hardship.
People are buying food at higher prices, paying more for fuel, diesel, electricity, internet data, banking services, and other essentials. Not because they want to, but because they have no choice but to survive.
Those higher revenues eventually reflect in the earnings of many listed companies, which then support stock prices and market growth.
In many countries, when the stock market reaches new highs, the benefits are felt by ordinary citizens through stronger purchasing power and improved living standards. In Nigeria, many citizens are still struggling despite the market’s record performance.
So when I look at the NGX’s all-time highs, I see the resilience and sacrifice of ordinary Nigerians reflected in those numbers.
Full stop.
